Trails
View the eagles from the designated parking areas between Haines Highway and the river or walk all or part of the 2 mile riverside trail. In addition to eagles, you may see mountain goats, moose, swans and sometimes bears. Stay within the designated areas to prevent stressful conditions for the eagles. They need their space to roost and feed.
